A eucalyptus tree (not thriving by the look of it) grows here in memory of Corporal Tom Hobday NX 46593, 3 Platoon C Company, 2nd/2nd Machine Gun Battalion, 9th Division Australian Imperial Force. Killed in action against the Japanese in North Borneo, August 2nd 1945.
A moving and totally unexpected sight in a small wood in north Lancashire.
